Georgia Stroke Network coordinating center
NIH StrokeNet- Regional Coordinating Stroke Centers for year 2023
This program helps people who have had a stroke, are at risk for another stroke, or are recovering from a stroke join clinical trials testing better emergency care, prevention, and rehabilitation.

What this research studies
You'll see the center working with hospitals, EMS, and rehabilitation clinics to speed up and simplify patient enrollment into NIH StrokeNet trials. They plan and run new trials in acute stroke treatment, secondary prevention, and post-stroke rehabilitation using master trial agreements and a central IRB to cut delays. The team also trains new clinical investigators and research coordinators to keep trials running smoothly. As a regional coordinating center based at Emory, they lead recruitment, protocol implementation, and collaboration across pre-hospital, hospital, and rehab settings.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal participants are people having an acute stroke, individuals at high risk for recurrent stroke, and patients recovering from stroke who meet specific trial eligibility and are willing to participate.
Not a fit: People without stroke or stroke risk, or those who do not meet the eligibility rules for individual trials, are unlikely to receive direct benefit from participation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could bring new emergency treatments, prevention strategies, and rehabilitation options more quickly to people affected by stroke.
How similar studies have performed: NIH StrokeNet and its regional coordinating centers have previously supported successful stroke trials and improved enrollment, so this work builds on established methods.
